OUR KIDS ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE CITY OF EL PROGRESO AND LOVE PARTICIPATING IN CLUB SOCCER, ART CLASSES, BAND, AND MANY OTHER ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES. THE AGES OF OUR CHILDREN RANGE FROM 13-26 YEARS OLD. WHENEVER OUR KIDS GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, THEY TRANSITION INTO OUR UNIVERSITY PROGRAM, WHERE THEY CAN LIVE MORE INDEPENDENTLY IN OUR UNIVERSITY HOUSE AND RECEIVE AN EDUCATION AT THE INSTITUTION THAT BEST SUITS THEIR CAREER CHOICE. CHILDREN ARE PLACED IN OUR CARE THROUGH CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES OF HONDURAS, KNOWN AS SENAF. THEY ARE TAKEN OUT OF THEIR HOMES FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS, MOST COMMONLY ABUSE, NEGLECT, OR VIOLENCE. WHILE THE HISTORY OF EACH CHILD IS SO DIFFERENT, THE ATTACHMENT DISORDERS AND DEVELOPMENTAL TRAUMA THEY'VE EXPERIENCED IS OFTEN SIMILAR. FOR THIS REASON, WE BELIEVE STRONGLY IN RAISING OUR CHILDREN IN A TRAUMA-INFORMED MANNER. WE RUN OUR HOME BASED ON TRUST-BASED RELATIONAL INTERVENTION, OR TBRI, WHICH IS AN ATTACHMENT-BASED, TRAUMA-INFORMED INTERVENTION TO MEET THE COMPLEX NEEDS OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN. WE USE THE TERM "CHILDREN'S HOME" INSTEAD OF THE TERM ORPHANAGE" BECAUSE THE REALITY IS, MOST OF OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT TRUE ORPHANS. THE MAJORITY OF CHILDREN HAVE BIOLOGICAL FAMILY OF SOME SORT, WITH WHOM WE ENCOURAGE AND FOSTER RELATIONSHIP WITH WHEN IT IS HEALTHY TO DO SO. 82456 0 0 CRECER IS A DAY CENTER IN SAN PEDRO SULA RUN AND OPERATED BY THE CHILDREN'S HOME PROJECT.WE OPENED CRECER IN 2015 AFTER YEARS OF STREET OUTREACH VISITS AND RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR A DAY CENTER TO REACH A POPULATION OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO LOVE AND FIGHT FOR THEM, BUT LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY.WE CURRENTLY WORK WITH 15 KIDS, AGES 12 TO 21, WHO LIVE AT HOME WITH THEIR FAMILIES IN THE CITY. CRECER STRIVES TO PROVIDE A STABLE, ENCOURAGING, FAMILIAL ATMOSPHERE FOR OUR KIDS BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW CRIPPLING POVERTY MAKES MUCH OF LIFE FEEL UP IN THE AIR. BEFORE CRECER, MANY OF OUR KIDS HAD DROPPED OUT OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM BECAUSE ECONOMICAL STRAINS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PURCHASE UNIFORMS, BOOKS, AND BUS FARE. WHEN WE MET THEM, THEY WERE TOO OLD TO ENROLL IN FIRST GRADE AS 13 AND 14 YEAR OLDS, AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM SPENT THEIR DAYS WASHING WINDOWS AND JUGGLING AT STOPLIGHTS FOR TIPS.THROUGH CRECER, ALL OF OUR KIDS ARE ABLE TO STUDY ON A PATH THAT FITS THEIR UNIQUE ABILITIES. IT'S INCREDIBLE TO SEE HOW A QUALITY EDUCATION IS SHAPING THEIR FUTURE; 14 AND 15 YEAR OLDS ARE LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND AS A RESULT, LEARNING MORE ABOUT THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND DREAMING ABOUT THEIR FUTURE. OUR GOAL THROUGH CRECER IS TO COME ALONGSIDE KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION, COUNSELING, AND MENTORSHIP IN HOPES OF ONE DAY BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY IN WHICH THEY'VE GROWN UP. 562796 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X JENNIFER KAST 6025746612 PO BOX 8066 CHANDLER AZ 85246 JENNIFER KAST FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR 25.00 X 27615 0 0 ALLISON KAST EICHENBERG SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRENDA SEMIN TREASURER 4.00 X X 0 0 0 JASON PAULING PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 27615 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 149619 416346 565965 4280 149619 13196 -8916 -8916 557049 0 0 -8916 27615 23279 4336 215478 187311 28167 20600 20550 50 6576 3366 3210 7338 7338 4830 4830 1341 1341 12126 5748 5673 705 2256 2256 36492 34190 2302 7832 3696 4136 731 576 155 4363 4088 275 857 857 TUITION 89338 89337 1 ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAM 79655 79069 586 FOOD & CLOTHING 72816 72816 MEDICAL CARE 30575 30575 763 763 621582 562796 58081 705 207663 142060 277079 8727 272716 268352 480379 410412 7425 2502 7425 2502 X 427439 407910 45515 0 472954 407910 480379 410412 X -64533 -511 X 0 0 0 X 528863 656270 617250 709617 565965 3077965 528863 656270 617250 709617 565965 3077965 51911 3026054 3077965 16400 0.98310 0.98010 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 106906 106906 170173 8727 161446 268352 CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN - ANTIGUA & BARBUDA, ARUBA, BAHAMAS, 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES OPERATING A CHILDREN'S HOME AND DAY CENTER 562796 0 0 0 0 0 0 562796 0 562796 0 0 0 0 0 0 MAGIC OF GIVING 90835 88535 2300 1941 820 1674 FIESTA UNDER THE STARS 63064 61084 1980 3028 741 4992 153899 149619 4280 4969 1561 6666 13196 -8916 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 2 JENNIFER KAST AND ALLISON KAST EICHENBERG HAVE A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.
